Thanks for contacting us. Sorry to say but you will not get bright red on your dark color hair. Henna is chemical free hair dye which you can only go from lightTo darker color. By using this you will achieve red tints on your dark hair. Thank you and hope we have answered your question.

No if you have dark brown hair you have to get your hair lightened first at least 2shades. Then the color can take to your hair strands. I have thick dark brown hair as well. Henna will not color hair, like the stuff you get at the drug store. Henna is a dye. But if you have brown hair think of it like using colored paint on a brown canvas it's not going to come out red. If you start with a white canvas you'll get the vibrant color.

I have very dark brown hair (though it lightens in the summer) how do i get a rich dark shade of reddish brown hair? What should i add to it?

the Henna will lighten naturally as time goes on. If you really hate the color and want to go lighter there are color oops on the market at like Sally's that you can buy and it should correct some darkness by stripping with a peroxide. Im sure your hair will be happier if you leave it alone and just let the henna fade naturally.

You can always darken your hair with henna. Just be sure to wash out any conditioners, styling products, etc. before applying the henna. And add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your henna when you mix it. Helps the color take better. Henna will not lighten your hair, its just herbs.

Deep Red Henna would turn your Platinum blonde hair to Red/Orange with first application, you will have to apply it couple of times to get deep/wine red, Henna dyes do not lighten the black hair, so you will not see much change on your black hair, but if you continue using deep red, after few applications, you will see uniform look all over your hair. Thank you.

I would suggest darkening your hair a bit before you use this henna. When I did mine, my roots were dark and the rest a medium blonde. The dark parts, my roots, turned the nice burgundy but the lighter sections turned orange like regular henna does.

When i bought this i used it to make ombre hair on dark brown hair and it worked but then i dyed my hair completely black and tried to use this once again on black hair and it didnt catch color like on brown hair . I did the strand test and after 2 hours it turned into a red color so u can try but red is yout best bet .. Only if u process it several times but thats most likely goinng to damage ur hair .. What i ended up doing was spending 150$ to get it lighten since black is not a color easy to get rid of and even getting my hair professional done it turned out to lighten only to a reddish brown color

I have a darker brown hair that has a reddish tint to it naturally and my hair turned out beautifully. It is a dark reddish brown with dark red highlights. Mine did turn out about the color on the package. since your hair is lighter it should be a lighter result. They do have a variety of colors including different reds. Hope I helped somewhat.

Crayola super bright orange. No way around it, that grey is going to be pretty bright. Depending on how the grey is positioned in your hair, it may be fine. If you have it threaded somewhat evenly through your hair, it will look fine, but if your grey is in patches, the henna will be a noticeably different (and brighter) color in the grey. IF you choose a darker or lighter shade of the Surya than the straight red henna, it won't be quite as obnoxiously bright, though.

It depends on how light your hair is. BUT, pretty much as soon as you put it in it will start to color your hair....Your best bet would be to look up what to mix with this henna to make it more your natural color. There are tea's, coffee, even other powers that will help keep some of the red down :) hope this helps!

It will give dark brown hair a red hue. It is quite popular these days. Our products cannot lighten hair, as that takes nasty chemicals including bleach and peroxide. Our product does not contain these ingredients, so the Henna Maiden Natural Red will not lighten your hair, but give it a beautiful red hue, and if you have any grey/white hair, that will turn into red highlights in your dark brown hair. Simply, it will look gorgeous, shiny, healthy, and all from a safe plant based product that is natural and not tested on animals. Thank you for asking!

No, It wont dye dark brown hair as deep red and if you continue using it like 2 times a month after 3-4 applications should get Dark/Blackish Red, Henna based hair dyes will color your gray/blonde hair to the color purchased. but if you can lighten your hair color somehow to brunette, it can surely get you deep red as in the picture.

Yes. It gave me really beautiful burgundy color, but the secret is that you need to stay with the henna as long as you can. I stayed with the henna for 14 hours/ on the weekend/ and got amazing results.

Yes you can, if you're planning on sticking with henna for the long run because if you do, if you dye your hair with chemical color it could ruin your hair. Which is what chemical dyes do anyway. But henna is really healthy and if you have light highlights the color could be more red depending on the color.

You might want to use a little wine red if you are looking for some red highlights. Also remember lemon juice or vinegar helps bring out the red in the henna.

The result was really dark even though I mixed with 40-50% neutral henna (no color). The problem is the indigo color which will go very dark. I am experimenting now with Avigal henna, using their neutral, hazel and champagne colors. Not there yet, but close. I ended up getting salon highlights to lighten up the results from Lively Light Brown. They say to do a strand test, but I did not do that.
